The Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) announced it has
given a Community Partnership Award to Norwest Bank South Dakota,
N.A. (Norwest) for its work in addressing the affordable housing
shortage on Native American reservations in South Dakota.

Using nearly $1.8 million in grants from FHLB's Affordable Housing
Program, Norwest partnered with local organizations on constructing
and renovating nearly 200 affordable homes on the Pine Ridge Indian
Reservation, the Rosebud Indian Reservation and other reservations
in the state.
